This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Discord holds a strong market position as a top communication platform for gamers and communities, leveraging a freemium business model with paid subscriptions. The company targets a broad audience including gamers, hobbyists, and social groups worldwide. The website supports this with extensive safety and privacy hubs, developer documentation, and a support center. The use of Cloudflare for DNS and registrar services, along with OneTrust for privacy compliance, indicates a mature operational infrastructure. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the public site suggests reliance on support portals for customer interaction. The company is large, US-based, and well-branded with consistent messaging and trust signals.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements multiple security headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended improvement for DNS security. There is no public security.txt or explicit incident response contact, which could enhance transparency and vulnerability management. Overall, the security posture is strong with room for incremental improvements in DNS security and disclosure practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  3. Consider adding explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. If applicable, publish relevant security certifications to enhance trust.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR and global compliance.

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS with React framework indications, hosted and registered via Cloudflare. It uses Google Fonts and OneTrust for privacy management, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good accessibility features and SEO meta tags. The technical implementation reflects modern web development best practices with no visible technical debt or major risks. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor technical gap. Overall, the infrastructure supports a fast, secure, and user-friendly experience aligned with business goals.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
